?? Be on the lookout for high tide flooding this coming week! Many locations, especially along the East Coast, can expect higher than normal tides on and around the full moon on the 17th. These higher than normal tides increase the risk of high tide flooding, including in the following locations: Kings Point, NY Sewells Point, VA Fort Pulaski, GA Eagle Point, Galveston Bay, TX Hilo Bay, Kuhio Bay, HI Increased coastal flooding and erosion is possible if these higher than normal tides overlap with a storm or strong winds. See the daily likelihood of high tide flooding in your area: https://lnkd.in/esjGZa67

Aquaculture —or farmed seafood — is making the way we live, work and eat more sustainable. On the latest episode of the #PlanetNOAA Podcast, NOAA Chief Scientist Dr. Sarah Kapnick and our aquaculture experts discuss: – How NOAA’s aquaculture and sustainability advancements are meeting the nation’s growing demand for nutritious, local seafood. ?? – How aquaculture farming tools and techniques are helping marine species grow more resilient to climate change. ?? – Why collaboration, mentorship, and a strong community are key for scientists looking to make a difference. ?? PLUS: Explore the ancient origins of aquaculture with the NOAA Heritage team! Listen now: https://lnkd.in/dsqUgj6K

????See flooding as it happens! In partnership with the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA), we brought coastal webcam imagery to NOAA’s Coastal Inundation Dashboard. Users can now quickly access webcam imagery from SECOORA’s WebCOOS network to visualize real-time flooding impacts while they monitor water levels during a coastal flooding event.

Ever heard the phrase “too much of a good thing”? Algae are small plants essential to many aquatic environments. However, some algae can be toxic, and too much algae (even nontoxic species) can be harmful. In the new NOAA National Ocean Service Coastal Pollution Tutorial, learn the unhealthy impacts that harmful algal blooms have on aquatic and coastal environments, humans and coastal economies. https://lnkd.in/e9K3GXyF #HarmfulAlgalBlooms Partners in this effort: NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration, Marine Debris Program

As we face severe weather events across the nation, it can be hard to understand how our daily forecasts are linked to climate change. Think about it this way: Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. https://lnkd.in/e_FhjJC2
